For theRacers
The Clash exists to make this night hit harder. Bigger purses paid straight to the racers, a hand for the ones who catch a bad break, and a future for the drivers coming up.
Dirt IsDisappearing
Across California, dirt tracks are going quiet. Every year another gate closes, and another town loses its Saturday night.
Grassroots racing built men like Bryan Carnett, and it is worth fighting for. The Clash is how his family and friends fight back, one night a year, for the racers who keep the sport alive.
Bigger Payouts
Every shirt sold and every sponsor dollar goes to the purse. When a racer loads up and hauls to Placerville, we want more waiting at the payout window. In 2021 the Late Model winner took home $2,500. We push that number higher, and it goes straight to the racers.
When It Goes Wrong
Racing is hard on equipment and harder on wallets. Blow a motor, bend a chassis, catch a bad break, and a season can end in a single night. The Clash steps in for the racers who got hit the hardest, because nobody should have to park the car over money.
The Next Generation
This sport only survives if young drivers can afford to chase it. We back the next generation coming up through the Pure Stocks and the Late Models, the kids who will be the names on this trophy twenty years from now.
Bryan's RacingFamily
Bryan Carnett raced, owned, and sponsored cars at Placerville Speedway for more than a decade, and along the way he built something rare, a tight group of friends he called his racing family.
When he was taken from us, that family did not scatter. It grew. The Clash is that same family, still showing up, still pulling for each other, still filling the pits every year in his name.
We show up and go to work. We raise the money, we build the purse, and we put every dollar back where it belongs, into the racers who bring the show.
Every shirt, every cap, every sponsor who puts their name on the night, all of it goes to the racers and the racing. That is the whole deal.
Be PartOf It
You do not have to own a race car to be in this. Buy a shirt, back the night as a sponsor, or bring the family out to Placerville and cheer until you lose your voice.
